Plastered!!!!

It was a rainy week this week so we were not expecting much action but the house was insulated early in the week and, when the sun came out on Thursday, so did the Gyprockers.   The whole house had the rough Gyprock completed in 1 day - we finally have walls and it looks AMAZING and huge! and the surprise is that it is quite cool as well.  Very happy :)

 

Here are a few photos although I will have to take some more - every time I go to have a look I get so distracted that I forget to take the damn photos

    The biggest laundry in history...

 

I also have a great chat with our SS on Friday and apparently its all systems go now. Next week the Gyprockers will be completing all week (all the detail work and cornices etc) along with the carpenter coming back to complete the lower roof Eves, cladding to 2nd storey and balcony.

 

After that he has booked the stairs to be installed on Tuesday week (10/2) then it will carpenter back to complete up to lock up, waterproofer in, cabinets installed, tiler, painter, fit off, tiler and then painter again (yes I was taking shorthand when he was speaking).  He said we are on track to have PCI by the end of March and.....the big news....when I said we had to be out of our existing house by April 20 he said 'Oh you will be in your house by then'.  What a weight off my shoulders - I can actually enjoy the building process again rather than stressing that I will be homeless in April (we have no Plan B)

 

Oh man Wisdom Homes if the house continues to look as amazing as it does and we are in by April 20 all will be forgiven and I will be shouting your praise to everyone I meet.

Yay the builders are back!!!!

Finally the builders are back on site.  The 3 weeks felt like an eternity but we made it through and are now looking forward to seeing some progress again.

 

The first week back saw the tiles on the roof of the garage and alfresco area being completed and the electrical/Air Con rough in. We were also supposed to have the eaves on the lower storey completed and balcony completed but that did not happen.  Here is a few photos -

    The new Air Con system is huge

 

       Looks a bit like a space suit

 

The 2nd week back we were again told that the lower storey eaves would be completed along with the balcony but it did not happen again.  We did have a carpenter on site 'fixing' the frame and the whole place has been given a much needed clean (the site still looks like a tip but at least the house is looking a bit better), so that is something.  

 

SS has advised the Gyprockers will be on site on Wednesday to start the walls which is very exciting but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

On other news we sold our existing house prior to Christmas which settled this week.  We are now renting it back from the new owners until 20 April so the new house needs to be finished by then.  We were originally told end of March, and planned to be in by Easter (April 3), which would leave us plenty of time but the way progress is going I'm not so sure - I can see a few stressful weeks ahead.
